Stępina pronounced as /pl/ is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Frysztak, within Strzyżów County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 7km (04miles) north-west of Frysztak, 160NaN0 west of Strzyżów, and 360NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Rzeszów.
Stępina is the location of one of Hitler's bunkers called Anlage Süd, built in with slave-labor from the Szebnie concentration camp nearby.[2] Over the course of the camp's operation some 10,000 people perished, including Soviet prisoners of war, Polish Jews, non-Jewish Poles, as well as Ukrainians and Romani people.
The remains of the camp in Szebnie were entered by the Soviets on 8 September 1944 during counter-offensive of the Red Army.[3]
